Hello Everyone!
Here is the latest update on Emersyn’s Entourage for the upcoming Rebecca Run for SMA on July 10th! We are now at 130 members on Emersyn’s Entourage and so far our team has raised an INCREDIBLE $7,000!! We are hopeful that we will hit and exceed our team goal of $10,000! Way to go everyone you are awesome!! Please continue to visit Emersyn’s blog www.emersynpaige.blogspot.com for updates.
Just a reminder that if we hit our target of $10,000 that Jason Klomp, Nick Dean, Adam Gizzie, James Wilson and James Dunsmuir will shave their heads at the Rebecca Run and if we get 150 runners Steve Palmer and Dave Brannon will also shave their heads. Steve Palmer has to present to the Town of Milton Council the week following the Rebecca Run and would love nothing more than to have his head shaved for that presentation. So please ask anyone you know to register in the next week so we can make Mr. Palmer’s dreams come true!
As mentioned in our last update a number of events were scheduled for the month of June with all proceeds going towards Emersyn’s Entourage. On the weekend of June 11/12 “Tennis Everyone” hosted a tennis charity tournament at local community tennis clubs across Mississauga. A BIG thank you to Dean and Tanya Porcellato for doing such a wonderful job organizing the tournament and for all of your hard work, support and dedication in helping us find a CURE for SMA. The tournament raised an AMAZING $1,000! Thank you to everyone who participated in the tournament.
We would like to send out a HUGE thank-you to Michele Robinson, Bill Grant, Sharon Caruana, Greg Peddie, Vince Oliver and the rest of the Terry Miller Crew for organizing and hosting the “Emersyn’s Entourage Dodgeball Tournament”. The tournament took place on Thursday, June 17th at the Terry Miller Recreation Centre in Brampton. The event consisted of a BBQ, Bake Sale, Silent Auction, Flower Sale, DJ (thank you Eugene) and of course the Dodgeball Tournament. The event was a blast and raised an INCREDIBLE $1,785, which is absolutely amazing! Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the event please know your love and support means so much to us. Pictures coming soon. We look forward to seeing everyone at the run!
We would also like to say a special thank-you to a very special boy, Myles Adams who rolled his pennies for Emersyn to help find a CURE for SMA. Myles proudly came up to Jason after the tournament and presented him with a large bag of rolled pennies totalling $28.00, which he had been collecting for some time. Myles gave us some pictures of himself counting all of his pennies for SMA which we will cherish. Myles, to say we are touched and filled with appreciation is an understatement.
We would like to say one more thank-you to our beautiful daughter Emersyn whose spirit continues to bring out the best in people. We feel Emersyn’s life and spirit brings people together to not only create awareness and fundraise for SMA but to remind us of what is important in life. So to “Emersyn’s Entourage” and to everyone who is working so hard to help us honour Emersyn and save the lives of others with SMA we thank-you from the bottom of our hearts!
Sincerely ~ Melanie, Jason and Emersyn Klomp
